4. a conflict ~ a team bus breaks down in the middle of “bumfuck nowhere” ( <- you have to use that phrase)

The story itself is pretty good, sexy, funny, hot, and man, I love the two main characters. I wish Stephanie will bring both Steve and Wayne into a novella.

And LOOK at the CHALLENGE INGREDIENTS that Stephani must worked with. Especially with the "drag queen", the "bumfuck nowhere", AND "a tshirt which says “I support Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and anyone else who plays against Steve Yzerman of the Wings” ...

SERIOUSLY??

Anyone who can come up with a story as sexy as this, with those challenge ingredients?? Well, it definitely deserve high praise

So being a Hawks fan I am certainly not a fan of the Dead Wings. However, I am a fan of Steven's! This was a hot smexy story starring a hockey goalie and a bartender. It was fun and a little bit romantic too.

A short, hot story of a Red Wings player showing up in Penguin territory, and converting at least one fan.

A great read! I am suddenly drawn to the sport of hockey. It was a short steamy story which had two great main characters. Rival team supporters sharing a common interest.

Fun short free m/m romance written using a crazy list of prompts.

Cute story and great job working with the prompts given! Loved the hockey theme and hilarious use of the drag queen father. Great story by Stephani yet again-I just love her hockey stories!

It was an "ahh OK" piece.

Short. Cute. But nothing extraordinary.
